1. Someone asked how to uninstall STinky's codex. Find the location on your computer where you chose to put the installer exe file. When you find it, open it up and it will give you the option to remove it or put it on the computer.

2. My problem with Stinky's mpeg2 codec is that when I installed it and began wmp, it played my mpegs for sure, BUT the mpeg is repeated beside itself, so you see 2 videos side by side simultaneously. Its like 2 monitors on one screen. What gives with that?

this is all you need in order to see your video MPEG2 files on your Windows Media Player!!! You don't need to pay a penny to those Microsoft mother f**kers who want to ripp you off by MAKING you by any upgrade of windows media. Why should we pay more!?? Aren't PCs expensive enough?

COOL & THANKS A LOOOOOT!!!

Downloaded fine, installed quickly and with no errors....still the same old message, still can't watch the DVD I brought home from mom's and still bored out of my mind.

Oh, and one more thing, I can't seem to get it deleted off my computer. Uninstalled, or at least that's what it says but ummm...yeah, the file will not go in the recycling bin and the Shift+Delete trick didn't work either. So...yeah, take my advice, if you have XP, don't download it, it most likely won't work and then it's a pain to remove.

End of rant.

It just doesn't work with WMP11 and Windows XP . After install you should be able to see in WMP11 check box for 'DVD Video' but there was none. Trying to open a VOB file with WMP11 doesn't work either. Luckily I used an uninstaller program with Stinkey's Codec so I could get rid of it completely.

Very quick download and install. Media Player 10 started to play mpeg2 files straight away, but with a faint line down the RH side of the screen. Still better than the Power DVD5 decoder I had installed before though, which had a worse line on it.

Just like "Disappointed" ... easy download, easy install, not much room for errors, there is only 2 buttons "Install" and "Remove" .... But the thing doesn't work : no way to read a dvd I still get the message saying "a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer" ... It just deosn't work. GOD why is it such a nightmare to simply wanna read a DVD on a PC ?????

Downloaded ok. Appeared to install ok. But, even after a reboot, simply had no effect on the WMP error message that 'a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer'. The WMP error message dialogue button for Web Help continued to advise that I need a MPEG-2 decoder.

So just what have I downloaded and installed?

Upon further research the below program worked. It played the whole video. This is what I used on my older PC just an older version. The only thing I noticed was when I was playing a video of 3 parts that I joined into one using Camels MPEG join the time length of the video was wrong, it only showed the time of the first part but it played the whole thing and it's a small detail for me.

It just doesn't work with WMP9 and Windows 98SE. After install you should be able to see in WMP9 tools>Options>File Types a check box for 'DVD Video' but there was none. Trying to open a VOB file with WMP9 doesn't work either. Luckily I used an uninstaller program with Stinkey's Codec so I could get rid of it completely.

So far the best option I have found for a free DVD player is Media Player Classic. You may find that you need XP and a processor of at least 1 Ghz for it to work though.

If anyone knows of another option for a free DVD player that works with Windows 98SE I would like to read about it.
